Recently had a project with a C++-on-Linux deliverable. I developed on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the most recent LTS at the time. Someone else tested on 16.04 LTS, which came out between me finishing development and him testing. Code compiled and failed to link until we built libcurlpp from source. In short, Ubuntu's been shipping a broken libcurlpp for something like a year. Further research tells me that's not the only package affected, and GCC 5 has generally made life entertaining. I'm also running 16.04 on a Raspberry Pi, and oh boy is that fun! An even less tested architecture! * Chromium segfaults on startup, and appears to have been doing so for about a year. Ubuntu continues to package completely broken updates occasionally. * Most audio from Firefox goes through what I've been calling the noisy Satan filter. * Initially, all programs segfaulted in ld.so when running in GDB. Currently, it spits out a couple errors and continues. * nm-applet reliably segfaults a few minutes after starting. * For some unknown reason, wlan0 has 7 global IPv6 addresses and counting. But at least it doesn't update without asking. I suppose there's that! Edit: Not that I think what Microsoft is doing is OK. Just think "just use Linux" often causes more problems than it solves, especially for people who just want Word and Facebook to work.
